A framework for efficient isogeometric computations of phase-field brittle fracture in multipatch shell structures
(2020)Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and EngineeringWe present a computational framework for applying the phase-field approach to brittle fracture efficiently to complex shell structures. The momentum and phase-field equations are solved in a staggered scheme using isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love shell analysis for the structural part and isogeometric second- and fourth-order phase-field formulations for the brittle fracture part. For the application to complex multipatch structures, we propose ...Journal Article -

Robustness analysis of a green chemistry-based model for the classification of silver nanoparticles synthesis processes
(2017)Journal of Cleaner ProductionThis paper proposes a robustness analysis based on Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA). The ensuing model was used to assess the implementation of green chemistry principles in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Its recommendations were also compared to an earlier developed model for the same purpose to investigate concordance between the models and potential decision support synergies. A three-phase procedure was adopted to ...Journal Article -
anNET: a tool for network-embedded thermodynamic analysis of quantitative metabolome data
(2008)BMC BioinformaticsBackground Compared to other omics techniques, quantitative metabolomics is still at its infancy. Complex sample preparation and analytical procedures render exact quantification extremely difficult. Furthermore, not only the actual measurement but also the subsequent interpretation of quantitative metabolome data to obtain mechanistic insights is still lacking behind the current expectations. Recently, the method of network-embedded ...Journal Article -
Fe(II) interaction with cement phases: Method development, wet chemical studies and X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(2021)Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceFe(II) interaction with cement phases was studied by means of co-precipitation and sorption experiments in combination with X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. Oxidation of Fe(II) was fast in alkaline conditions and therefore, a methodology was developed which allowed Fe(II) to be stabilised in the sorption experiments and to prepare samples for spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the co-precipitation samples showed ...Journal Article -
Design and Application of Mini‐libraries of the miRNA Probes for an Efficient and Versatile miRNA‐mRNA Cross‐linking
(2021)Chemistry - A European JournalMicroRNAs constitute a class of endogenous, non-coding RNAs that influence various processes within the cell. By base-pairing to partially-complementary sites located in the 3’ untranslated region of target messenger RNAs, microRNAs participate in post-transcriptional regulation of the majority of human protein-coding genes. Their dysregulation has been related to many pathological processes and diseases. Thus, an in-depth understanding ...Journal Article -
